Lineslinger, they are called fuel cut-off inertia switches and a lot, if not most, of the new cars have them. They are usually mounted in the trunk somewhere and your owners manual will have a proviso that says "blah, blah, blah if you hit a big bump or pot hole and your car won't run, it is possible your fuel cutoff inertia switch has been activated. Reset it by hitting the red button in the corner of your trunk, blah, blah, blah." You could adapt almost any OEM FCO Inertia Switch to fit your Cobra line.
